    I would like to weigh in against opacity.  I particularly like the
    fact that the language has explicit support for breaking abstractions.
    This is one of the best parts of Lisp-derived languages, as it removes
    the distinction between systems programming, environmental support,
    and other programming tasks.
    
So how do you square this with procedures being opaque?

I'm not arguing for opacity here, just curious.
